Throughout this week we’ve been piecing together the clues that allude to a Super Sonic presence in Sonic Colors. To this point, the big question is whether the invincible form could be playable in the game’s main action stages.

This morning, that question was answered with a resounding Yes.

1stKirbyEver posted a ten minute YouTube video detailing Super Sonic’s playability across an array of action stages. How is this possible? The seven Chaos Emeralds must be obtained within the Sonic Simulator, and that requires the collection of red rings inside the main stages.

Below you’ll see Super Sonic speed through Aquarium Park, Starlight Carnival, and the first act of Terminal Velocity. Thanks to KuroBit, Kadeb and Grout through News Tips, as well as several comments on this morning’s piece, for cluing us in.

I don’t care what Sega says, this game is so win that it deserves to be part of main canon. Sega, give yourselves a BIG pat on the back because you deserve it.

Welcome back, Sonic. We’ve missed you.

Possibly the greatest Sonic ever? well, certainly the best 3D one. Itll have to blow me away to knock S3&K of its mantle. Right now, its putting up one hell of a fight though.

Yeah, the fact that this game marks the first ever 3D Sonic game (in the main canon series) where Super Sonic is playable in all stages bumps the score up to an 9/10 for me. ^__^

look on wiki.this game IS an installment into the main series of the sonic games. it sure doesnt look like spinoff like the storybook games or a racing game!

wow thats pretty awsome that you can become super sonic within levels, just like in the original sonic games, but i dunno…this game kinda disopointed me in more ways then it impressed me, the super sonic part is sweet, i like how the aliens give you differant powers, but the levels are to short and there more 2d than 3d, wich can slow you down big time,i think sonic games should be all about going as fast as possible mostly through the whole game, i think sonic unleashed was my favourite followed closely by the black knight, even thou unleashed had some really shitty low budget parts, like talking to people in town, and the werewolf thing was kinda wierd…it still had the best fast levels out of all the current 4 sonic wii games by far,it was the perfect combination of 2d and 3d, and its sweet how you collect medals in that game wich makes it really hard to ace, i hope the next sonic game they make is more like unleashed (just probably without the werewolf slow levels) but make it so you can become super sonic without having to wait untill the end of the game, the makers of sonic are on the right track they should just try spending alot more time making a new sonic game and not rush it
